This clock is pretty cool. Besides seeing new, beautiful Japanese women each minute, they are actually holding up a sign of the time, for each minute of each hour! The time is in army time, so after noon, one o'clock appears as 13:00 and so forth, but easy to understand after a few moments of thought.

A great Japanese widget for those interested in the Arctic Circle and also on the effects global warming is having on the glaciers there. The widget provides a map of arctic glaciers and their movement from the past to the present. Click tab one on the bottom of the widget. The second tab is a photo gallery of images from the Arctic Circle. Great fun. And finally, the third tab is for those who can read Japanese and involves a letter from an illustrated bear child about why the glaciers are disappearing. The code is easy to get on the widget's web page.

Introducing the widget from Glico that is more than a clock/calendar. Click on the cute, little animated character to play a Go Fish like picture matching game that you play on your screen over your blog or website. Yes, an advertisement for Glico, but a fun one. To get the code, go to the site's website, wait for the introduction to end, and then you'll see a button with the words "blog parts" on the right side. Click on that and you will soon see the code.

English proverbs are randomly displayed along with their Japanese translations. Designed for learners of English, but could equally be used by learners of Japanese. The only trick being that Japanese kanji characters are used.

The name basically speaks for itself. Tease and annoy the cute, little character with your cursor. Your cursor will be replaced by the arrow once it enters the widget frame. Turn on your sound, too, for sounds of distress. Enjoy!

Here's a wacky widget for you: a funky one-eyed thing dancing around to music with a guitar in it's hands. Just press the Play Song button. The code is on the widget's web page, a blog, on the right side. Can't miss it.
